Question '00 AWD shaking when steering left @ 2kRPM 40 mph

I am experiencing shaking from the chassis
when steering left(not hard left, but gentle
left thru a turn) at around 2k RPM at ~40mph.
It is more noticable when going up an incline.

Just now, went to a local lexus dealership,
cannot reproduce the problem while testing
with the service mgr.

Would like to know if other owners experiencing
similar problem, or appreciate someone
shed some light.

00' RX300 AWD 22k miles.

Thanks,

-Frank

Of course you couldn't replicate it at the dealer, isn't that how it always goes. I've never heard of anything like that. Try to find out exactly what you are doing and when it happens so the next time (assuming there will be a next time) you go to the dealer you can replicate the problem. If not, I'd give the description and leave it to be fixed anyway...something definitely not right.
